About this school
Te Kahu Amohia - Fairhaven School is a school serving around 104 pupils. Principal is Sioned Oliver.
New Zealand follows a national curriculum set by the Ministry of Education, covering Years 1–13. The system emphasises student agency, cross-curricular learning, and bicultural partnership under Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Schools are self-managing under Boards of Trustees. State schools are co-educational and free; the integrated and private sectors play a smaller but valued role.
Roles and salaries
Registered teachers in New Zealand state schools are paid on a nationally agreed scale: from around NZ$50,000 to NZ$90,000 at classroom level, with leadership roles paid above this. Recent pay settlements have improved conditions notably for mid-career teachers. The cost of living varies significantly between Auckland and regional New Zealand.
